Why Youth?

Youth are a tremendous asset on the African continent, representing a significant portion of the population. If not harnessed effectively, their potential can lead to increased unemployment and crime rates. By empowering young people to utilize existing resources, we transform their potential into positive outcomes. Our programs instill a sense of agency and entrepreneurial spirit, promoting self-sufficiency through training in asset-based community development. We foster a culture of savings, investment, and community engagement, helping youth establish sustainable enterprises and create employment.



Umugandathon

The Umugandathon project focuses on equipping young people in Africa with the skills required to build innovative solutions for challenges in the communities.Umuganda" is a Kinyarwanda word from Rwanda, which translates to "coming together in common purpose to achieve an outcome" and ‘thon’ comes from Marathon, denoting a search for solutions to common problems.

In this program, community youth participate in Asset-Based Community Development Training, where they collaborate to create solutions for challenges by establishing community enterprises.
